What´s New in the BIAN Foundation Certification – version 3?

Are you working in banking architecture, integration, data, or digital transformation and looking for a shared language that truly connects business and IT? Join us for this practical and accessible webinar introducing the BIAN Foundation Certification from the Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN) — the essential first step for anyone who wants to understand the architectural foundations of modern banking.

This latest update positions the Foundation is more than just a certification. It is a broad stepping stone into BIAN and is the common architectural basis for the entire banking industry. From there, Practitioner certifications build deeper expertise, allowing you to specialize based on your role — such as Enterprise Architecture, Solution Architecture/Development, Data Architecture, or Business-focused tracks.

This webinar will also cover what is included in the new Foundation course, including a case study.
